Wang Gang was killed, but there was no fluctuation in my heart.

If he hadn't pointed a gun at my forehead not long ago, I might have saved him, but now I won't. No matter what he encounters, it's his own fault.

I have committed my own sins and can't live, so I don't need to save someone who might have killed me.

"I was retribution so soon, tsk."

The fire monkey sighed sarcastically.

"Don't say that, Team Wang is just too stimulating. If it were you, you might not be much better than him. I think it's better for us to find him."

Yang Hui looked generous and took out a pistol and walked towards the street on the left.

Her physical condition has been the worst in the past few days. She even shook her walking, but her attitude was very firm.

As a woman, she was able to set an example so resolutely, so Huohou and I naturally could not watch her die. We could only follow her and try our best to ensure her safety.

I have to admit that this woman is more humane than me.

But this human touch is likely to cause us to die here.

"What do you think of a woman opening the way for two of us men?"

Huohou sighed and said reluctantly, then caught up with Yang Hui and walked in front of her.

When we approached, we found that a flashlight was falling on the ground covered with a thin layer of sand, and bullet shells scattered all over the ground.

But Wang Gang himself disappeared.

Where we are standing now is the door of an ancient house. The dusty copper-edged red wooden door was closed tightly. There was a stone lion squatting on the left and right in front of the door. Half a person was tall and majestic.

On our right is an ancient locust tree. The nearly ten meters tall tree body is pitch black and the thick trunks are more than enough to embrace each other. Although it looks no different from the carbonized poplar in the desert at first glance, the luxuriantness can still be seen from its sparse branches.

But I felt a strange vitality from it, as if what I saw was not a tree, but a beast dormant underground.

This thought lingers in my mind for a long time, and I have no choice but to look at it.

How could I have such a weird idea? Could it be that I am too suspicious?

"Where is Team King?"

When I was puzzled, Yang Hui took the flashlight and asked in confusion.

"The footprints only continue here. Logically speaking, even if he is in danger, he should be here."

I came to my senses and pointed to the footprints on the ground.

Wang Gang's footprints were interrupted here, as if his whole body had evaporated out of thin air.

Could it be that he hid in this courtyard when he encountered danger?

I turned my eyes to the gate and couldn't help but hesitate.

What if we don’t find Wang Gang when we go in, but instead put us in danger?

When Huohou saw me staring at the door, he quickly dissuaded: "You don't want to go in, do you? This thing is just a flowery rack. After so many years, it has become a tofu and it will break when it is touched. What if we collapse as soon as we go in?"

"Go and have a look, what if Team King is inside..."

Yang Hui agrees with my point of view.

So I asked them to retreat to a safe distance and then walked to the gate alone. This building that has been destroyed for a long time will not suddenly collapse like we encountered before, right?

While thinking, I gently placed my hand on the copper ring and prepared to escape unstoppably when an accident happened.

But the imagined accident did not happen.

After a whirl of unwell friction sound came out, the door opened.

It is a classical courtyard with a hint of nobility in its atmosphere. There is a marble table in the courtyard, covered with dust, and there are several dishes of half-eating meals. There are four statues sitting next to the table.

The statue is a family of four, a man and a woman holding a pair of twins, and they looked in the same direction with horror.

I don’t know which skillful craftsman is from, and it can be carved so realistically!

"The sand on the ground has no traces of movement. Team Wang should not be here, but... these statues look a bit interesting."

Fire Monkey said as he walked towards several statues.

He curiously tapped the head of the woman's statue with a butt, and the sound came out was thick and dull, and it seemed to be a solid one.

"Same as it is."

The Huo Monkey turned his head and said to me and Wang Hui.

Indeed, it is really too realistic, and it even makes people a little scary.

Just as the fire monkey was talking to us, the sculpture's head suddenly fell off, rolled around the ground, and then fell to my feet.

I saw something white in the cracks on the neck of the statue.

When I moved the light of the flashlight, I was shocked.

The white thing I saw turned out to be a broken spine!

Suddenly, I understood, what kind of statue is this? It is clearly the body of a dead person! It was only in countless years that sand covered the body, so it looked like an exquisite sculpture at first glance!

The family of four we saw in front of us were once alive!

However, the four of this family did not seem to die normally, but seemed to have suddenly encountered some natural disaster. Therefore, the couple, who were completely unprepared, had their expressions so hideous and terrifying when danger came.

“These… are not sculptures.”

I immediately told Huohou and Yang Hui about my discovery.

"I said why does it look so realistic..."

"I can't imagine how terrible the crisis they encountered."

After listening to what I said, Yang Hui's expression became even more anxious, and she became more worried about the missing Wang Gang.

I picked up the head of the woman who fell to the ground and placed it on the stone table. Then I said, "We have wasted enough time. Let's go out and look for it. If it really doesn't work, I can only make other plans."

We wandered around for a long time, but we didn't even see a mouse.

In the end, we returned to the place where Wang Gang disappeared again.

"We are all clay Buddhas who cross the river, why do we have to waste our efforts on a traitor? If we continue to wander like this, I won't last long."

The Huo Monkey's face can no longer be described as ugly.

My mood also sank to the bottom.

We, who are already very tired due to dehydration, can't stand any trouble. I really suspect that I will faint from excessive water loss in the next second.

Even Yang Hui, who had always advocated looking for Wang Gang, became a little silent at this time.

"Yes, we can't waste our energy anymore. As for Team King, I wish him good luck..."

I also plan to give up looking for Wang Gang. After all, we have done our best, but we still have nothing to do.

Now, we have to return to the intersection when we arrived and change direction.

Before leaving, Yang Hui still looked around unwillingly, trying to find a trace of Wang Gang, but she still gained nothing.

"Yang Hui is gone!"

Suddenly, the anxious voice of the fire monkey came from behind.

I was shocked and hurriedly turned around, but there was only Fire Monkey behind me, while Yang Hui was missing.

As Yang Hui disappeared, a slight friction sound came.

I quickly picked up the flashlight and shone it in the direction where the sound disappeared.

At the end of the flashlight, I saw Yang Hui, who was tightly entangled by several black vines as thick as a baby's arms.

Her was tightly wrapped by those strange vines, leaving only half of her head exposed, and one of them strangled her neck tightly.

This made her unable to even call for help, and she could only whimper silently.

These strange vines were dragging her into the darkness.

"What the hell is this!"

Huo Monkey jumped in a hurry and threw the backpack in his hand to me, lifted the gun and rushed towards Yang Hui's disappearance.

For a time, my weight almost doubled, but when I acted, I was faster than the Fire Monkey.

But even so, I couldn't catch up with the black vines that dragged Yang Hui away. I could only watch Yang Hui being dragged by the vines and hanging upside down in front of a thick and tall tree.

In an instant, I stopped and looked at Yang Hui's begging eyes blankly, not knowing what to do.

The big tree in front of us is the ancient locust we have seen before!

And the vines wrapped around Yang Hui are actually branches of locust trees!
Chapter completed!
